Didn’t he changed his mind after learning it wasn’t okay?
He changed his public statements after huge backlash. He supported pedophilia for decades and after he got bad press to a degree it reached parts of the wider public he suddenly had an actual change of heart? No way.
By supported you mean he wrote a few posts about it on his blog. Later he talked to some pedophilia victims and they made him realise how harmful it is. What is so impossible about it?
There was about a decade’s gap where he could have changed his opinion.
In fact, during the MIT CSAIL scandal it’s apparent that he did, since he noted that Epstein’s victims were absolutely coerced into pretending they were willing when they were not (which certain news outlets I will not name spun into “stallman says they were willing”), and he also said Epstein is not described harshly enough.
Of course, you’re free to dislike him or even disbelieve what I just said, but you can’t deny that what he says about software is damn near prophecy.

That’s disappointing. Who is stallman?

GNU guy, he made a ton of Linux that’s not Linux. GCC for example.
